Gregory Frost Obituary

Gregory Lynn Frost, age 70, passed away on May 28th, 2018 at his home in Spokane Valley. Greg was born on August 16th, 1947 to Celesta (Addington) Frost and Elton Frost. He was a graduate of Ranum High in Denver, CO, but considered himself a member of the West Valley Class of 1965. He married Marsha Thomas in 1972, and together they had three children: Josh, Jessie, and Emily. He worked in sales for many years, made many friends in the dry cleaning industry, and retired in 2013. He married his beloved Pamela Smedley Olsen in 2009. They shared the happiest years of their lives together golfing, traveling, and enjoying good food. Greg was well known for his humor, hugs, laugh, athleticism, and his friendships, as well as his love of Jeopardy, music, Texas Hold Em, and most other sports. He was an incredible person, father, husband, brother, son, uncle, grampa, and friend. We are all better people for having had him in our lives, and he will be sorely missed. He is survived by his mother Celesta Frost, brother Scott (Joey) Frost, children Josh Frost, Jessie Frost, and Emily (Adam) Powell, and his grandkids Tre’ and Scout Hoisington, Asher and Blake Powell. Family, friends, and others whose lives Greg touched are invited to The Black Diamond (9614 E Sprague) in Spokane Valley on June 24th 2018 at 3pm to reminisce, grieve, support one another, and celebrate his life.

"Frosty" was a great friend to the Mee family, both in Spokane and Libby MT. We had a lot of great times and a lot of laughs. We are all better off for knowing him.

We are so privileged and honored to have been able to call Greg a dear friend for well over 60 years. My husband and Greg become best friends in 4th grade and remained best friends until his passing. He was a kindred spirit and his loss is heartbreaking. But he will remain in our hearts and remembered always. We will miss you dear friend.

We will forever be grateful for the love and compassionate care Greg provided to our beloved sister Pam. He was a wonderful addition to our family because he made Pam so happy.

Stephen and I will miss talking over each week's college football results with Greg. And the Apple Cup just won't be the same this year without the good natured, but spirited, rivalry with our favorite Cougar fan.

Greg probably never thought of himself as an academic, but I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him about Hanna's probability and statistics coursework and confirming that her instructor's interpretation of poker hand probabilities was incorrect.

Together again.

Greg was an awesome husband for our dear sister Pam. He and his whole family brought such joy into Pam's life and thus into ours. He will be greatly missed by the Smedley family.

Dear Greg,

Since death is unfathomable to we mere mortals, it is my choice to believe your spirit is with us, at least for a while. In case there is any reality in my beliefs, I want you to know a thing or two.

One is that I am very proud to have married you. Some thought I "could do better" than a blue collar worker. I had access to plenty of white collar people but you and I just hit it off. (Meant to be?)

Despite the fact that we divorced after 28 years of marriage, we created a family! And we stuck together as a family! Our legacy is our loving children, Greg. As you know, the word "proud" isn't adequate to describe how I feel about them. The way they rallied around and cared for you was beautiful!

If we did nothing else in the last 47 years but create and raise Josh, Jessie and Emily, our contribution to our world would still be considerable! They are kind and loving people. Good people!

I'm grateful you saw me walking through your place of business in 1971 and had the nerve to ask me out. When I try to wrap my head around all the countless things that lead each of us to that moment, I wonder if it's all the result of a diabolical dance of fate or a Rube Goldberg creation of one random occurrence after another. Given the often chaotic feeling of life, I have to go with Rube.

Can you rest in peace AND watch over your loved ones? Please do that!

We loved you and always will.
Your first wife and lifelong friend ❤
